3132.
(a) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:(1) “Carbon dioxide capture project” means a project that uses a process to separate carbon dioxide from industrial, commercial, or energy-related sources, other than oil or gas production from a well, and produces a concentrated fluid of carbon dioxide with the intent of preventing emission of the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
(2) “Carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project” means a carbon dioxide capture project or carbon dioxide removal project, that seeks to provide for the long-term isolation or utilization of
the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through storage in a geologic formation.
(3) “Carbon dioxide removal project” means a project that uses a process to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
(4) “Concentrated carbon dioxide fluid” means a fluid that contains concentrated carbon dioxide that is proportionately greater than the ambient atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.
(b) (1) An operator shall not inject a concentrated carbon dioxide fluid produced by a carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project into a Class II well for purposes of enhanced oil recovery, including the facilitation of enhanced oil recovery from another well.
(2) For purposes of this subdivision, any incidental and unintentional residual oil produced at the surface from a Class VI well resulting from the injection of a concentrated carbon dioxide fluid into a Class VI well that has been deemed emptied of oil before injection during the execution of a carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project is not considered enhanced oil recovery. Carbon dioxide shall not be
produced by a carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project. The carbon dioxide capture, removal, or sequestration project shall not sell, barter, exchange, or trade any incidental and unintentional residual oil produced at the surface.
Any oil produced from a Class VI well shall be reported to the State Air Resources Board and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, within 60 days of its occurrence. production.
